But the halls and the people filling them proved that more than just reading, writing, and arithmetic were learned. The constant activity after hours reflected changes in the way students thought, talked and acted. Although Stratford's administration defined every day as a learning experience, the 472 seniors who graduated May 27 fulfilled not only the standard course requirements, they also were educated through personal development.
